PAGE FOUR EDITORIALS (COSTS CAN BE OUT The distinguished Richmond "I im«». Dispatch, as quoted October 22 in the Norfolk Journal and Guide, ha\ bee j lamenting the rising cost of higher odu , (cation to the State of Virginia. One of the complaints is against, the dupli cation of graduate an o professional schools supported by Virginia ror its citi zens. In the course of the discussion of the point the l imes. Dispatch makes bold to "inquire whether any other Stale in the Union is . . . paying for two law pc boo Is ?" We can answei that, unjoin- for tin Times Dispatch North Curoiinu is. South Cm olina is. W e believe t hat Texas is. There may be one or two others. The states named are providing one law school for regular < itizens and one ad ditionai for its colored citizens, I rom what we can gathei, Virginia is supporting two for its regular citizens, and providing some scholarship aid to* its Negro citizens to g*. out of the state to study law. Them are ways often to cut down costs, but one of these ways has a limit ed appeal, in Virginia, in North Carolina and among som< of their neighbors HAST IE GETS ANOTHER FIRST The fact that the appointment oi Wii jiam H. llastie to be a j udge of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals regarded as a recognition by President. Truman of Mastic-\s staunch and loyal support :n thtit last presidential cam pi ign does not detract from the fact that Judge Hattie is a capable and experi enced lawyer oiiri inmt and should grace the- bench. It should not be lor gotten that Mr. Mastic win once judge of tin L. S. Court in the Virgin Islands, and so brings not .only a wed-trained legal mind with him to the bench, but a.so experience as a judge, The appointment is the highest ever awarded a Negro in the ''' S, Govern ment; Mi". H-'ist.ie is therefore making history, and so is President Truman, it was rather expected that when a Neg) '•* achieved appointment to tin- regular Fedeal bench within the continental United Slates, this first appointment would be to a district judgeship. But Truman, the Missourian, descendant .of a Confederate soldier, did better than that. There is no doubt that Judge Has ■ tie will justify his .chief's confidence in is ability and fitness to be an accept able judge of the Circuit Court of Ap peals, and of his worthiness to be the ~ne to mark another milestone in the progress of the Negro in the United States, THE BIG CITY , The small operators in the taxicab business in Raleigh air- quite under • stall dab ly piotesting against the propos al of the city government to require cab • l operators to go under the meter syterr. Whatever other advantages or disad * vantages might lie involved in such a change, it is obvious that the installa tion of meters costing close to S3OO each. j s an unconscionable expense to assess against owners of a single or -■ tew- cabs. Unless there is overwhelming evidence that the public is at a substantial disau . vantage under the present fare system, which- as a matter of fact has seemed to ibe working satisfactorily for a number of years, the city's proposal to force all public backers to lay .out S2BO tor a meter for every cab is entirely unjustifi . able. . , y THE CAROLINIAN t Published by The Carolinian Publishing Co. 11H Ifa*t H&raetf St. RdkilflE.

EX CONGRESSMAN MAY AGAIN It has come to our attention that our old friend and fellow native of Kentucky Andrew Jackson May, former congress man, has had lus apeal from conviction of accepting bribes denied by tin l l F Supreme Court. It was not Long ago that in these columns we were wondering w hat had become of the old patriot who was-v valiant m defending the men in the army from contamination by a pam phlet which; set forth the snenCfic data on race differences Ex congressmen May . ;jij o! - jail, and Mil! lighting to stay out. It has iieea pointed out heretofore that the funnel, chairman of’ the House Military An an s Committee has been drawing a uiee pension && an ex-congressman. Tin's, we presume, was pending the outcome ot his appeal, but it may be that, he will still be eligible for his pension if and when he goes to jail to begin his sen tence. We do not know the details of the statute under which ex-congressmen are pensioned, but is conceivable that inside the freemasonry of Congress the statute may have been so designed that nothing would disqualify a pensioner. But the ease, is not even ever yet. Mr. May has announced that he will seek a rehearing oefore the Supreme Court, ine now 7-t -year-old statesman, who got long delays in the operation of jus bee in his case on the plea of illness, may never serve a day of his sentence, and .may draw his S3OO a month pension until the day of hit death, THE CAROUNIAN S : A); rf|trNf; \ i':‘ :/. j y V sV; / ! *A- *y< | a- o'' mi j. c ■wtm oM d>3*'- 1 >d,UUP,OO>.)

In. brief, a wide awake arid well trained pastor means a progressive community socially, politically, economic,'illy spirit - ualiy and intellectually.
